DIY Painted and Patterned Canvases

My husband made a set of 4 canvas paintings with flower prints on for our anniversary last year and to say I was surprised and super excited is an understatement. Here are the instructions on how to make your very own.

Supplies

Design or piece of art

Canvas or multiple canvases

Pencil

Transfer paper

Paint

Paint brushes

Picture hanging hardware

Ruler

Steps

Find a pattern or piece of art.

Decide how many pieces and how large the project will be when completed.

Enlarge it in a graphic editing program.

If multiple canvases will be used decide their spacing and set up, remember this information to put the finished art on the wall correctly.

Print out the design.

Use transfer paper and trace the design on the canvas.

Paint the designs.

Paint the edge of the canvas a color darker than the darkest color in the design.
